Journeys of the Spirit® Newsletter June 6th, 2012

Dear Friends,

As a physician I can definitively say that forgiveness has a profound and measurable effect on our health and quality of our lives. This has been proven over and over again in our medical literature.

Dr. Fred Luskin, for example (one of my favorite researchers on forgiveness), has been working relentlessly and passionately at Stanford University on the subject for years. As Dr. Luskin says: “Forgiveness has been shown to reduce anger, hurt, depression and stress and lead to greater feelings of optimism, hope, compassion and self confidence.”

I know you’re probably sick of hearing about forgiveness over and over again – but truly, without forgiveness as the mainstay of your spiritual path – freedom can never come. I for one cannot imagine my process without it!

Knowing this I’ve created something very special that I’ll be sharing with you in a few weeks – so keep your eyes open for it! Something I am very excited about and hope you will be too.

OUR GUEST ARTICLE

How Can Horses Teach us More About Ourselves and Our Truth?

In recent years more and more people are becoming aware of and starting to work with horses in areas such as relationship, communication, leadership, responsibility, empathy and awareness, along with spiritual growth and expansion. But why work with horses, what is so unique and special about them?

Horses are truly mirrors to our internal world, and to our true selves! Here are some examples:

Improve Your Communication and Honesty – Only 7% of what we say verbally is actually communicated, the remaining 93% of our communication is conveyed by tone of voice and body language. Because horses are prey animals with what are called “mirror neurons”, they communicate and empathize with us by responding to our deepest, truest and often most subtle belief systems. They offer us the unique and profound opportunity to gain clarity about the ways we are moving through the world. Their innate wisdom and gift is in being able to read and reflect back how our energy, body language, and non-verbal forms of communication affect all of those around us.

Deepen Your Relationships and Create Connection – Are you open, connected and communicating fully in all your relationships? Opening to the horse as an innate spiritual teacher, you are guided to relax, release, become fully present and connect to your own deepest essence and intuition. From this space you can create true and profound connections with others and manifest the positive changes you want in life.

Respect and Honor Your Emotions – Learn to hold your space and create positive, empowered boundaries without closing down to the world around you, even in the midst of chaos. Through the non-judgmental guidance of the horse, you open to your emotional intelligence honoring your feelings without judgment. Explore and reveal your supportive emotions (joy, happiness, empathy) as well as their shadows (fear, anger, worry, defensiveness). Learn to honor them, feel them fully and consciously, receiving what they have to offer, and then release them.

Blessings & light – Briana

Briana Lorenz-Marrow

Briana has been riding since the age of 12 and brings a strong foundation of horsemanship philosophy to her teaching. She believes that part of the gift of the horse is to facilitate openness and learning that otherwise could not take place. Briana’s life work has always been focused on service to others, empowering them to manifest their own higher purpose.

In the video interview below, Briana, Ezra and Judy (from Equus Elemental) chat about horse wisdom and what we humans can learn from these majestic and beautiful animals. You can join them this September 19-23rd for their powerful retreat “Reconnecting to Truth through Horse Wisdom” in sunny Tucson, AZ. I was BLOWN AWAY by what they shared in this video – so don’t miss it!
